Love of cinema

I really like foreign movies, and I don't talk about American or British movies, but about European, Asian or Latin American cinema. This is why Cinema Paradiso (1988), directed by Giuseppe Tornatore and with the performances of Salvatore Cascio, Philippe Noiret y Agnese Nano it's one of my favorite movies.

The film is about Salvatore who is a child from an Italian town, after the second world war, where the only hobby is to go to the movies and grow up believing it to be magic thanks to his friend Alfredo.

My favorite scene is the final scene: The character played by Jacques Perrín, who in the film is Toto, the child who discovered the mysteries and magic of cinema thanks to Alfredo, Toto sits in the old cinema to see what Alfredo had left him as a posthumous gift showing all the pieces of movies films that he had to cut at the request of the priest who found that kisses, hugs and naked bodies were a scandal that shouldn't be shown in the movies. Alfredo agreed and cut out all those scenes. But he didn't destroy them, but he was hitting each other to save them in the same roll of film and prevent them from disappearing.

I love this scene because it shows that Alfredo totally changed the world view that Toto had and the into to the magic of cinema and with this scene all the memories of Alfredo, that old man who made him see the world from other eyes, come to mind.
